We have the top three picks for this Wednesday, and below there is a list of bars and lounges that are always a good option.
LIVE:
Nelson Sargento com Vida @ Sala Municipal Baden Powell (Copacabana) – The show ‘Nelson Sargento com Vida’ is a great celebration of the grandeur of the work and vitality of the samba maestro Nélson Sargento, who, in 2018, is celebrating his 94th year.
Accompanied by the ‘Coletivo Sindicato do Samba’ (Collective Samba Union), Nelson commands the show, journeying through approximately 80 years of dedication to samba, both in Brazil and around the world.
There’s more! Invited especially by Nelson, the singer Anatasha Meckenna will also be present to crown the show, which, in its 2017 tour in the city of São Paulo was elected, by popular vote, the best national show of 2017, according to Guia Folha de São Paulo.
Tickets are between R$30-R$60 and the show starts at 7:30PM.
